Keyboard hardware and device-dependent X server +software often implement auto-repeat by generating multiple KeyPress events with +no intervening KeyRelease event. The standard behavior of the X server is to +generate a KeyRelease event for every KeyPress event. If the keyboard hardware +and device-dependent software of the X server implement auto-repeat by +generating multiple KeyPress events, the device-independent part of the X server +by default synthetically generates a KeyRelease event after each KeyPress event. +This provides predictable behavior for X clients, but does not allow those +clients to detect the fact that a key is auto-repeating. + +Xkb allows clients to request +.I detectable auto-repeat. +If a client requests and the server supports DetectableAutorepeat, Xkb generates +KeyRelease events only when the key is physically released. If +DetectableAutorepeat is not supported or has not been requested, the server +synthesizes a KeyRelease event for each repeating KeyPress event it generates. + +DetectableAutorepeat, unlike other controls, is not contained in the +XkbControlsRec structure, nor can it be enabled or disabled via the +EnabledControls control. Instead, query and set DetectableAutorepeat using +.I XkbGetDetectableAutorepeat +and +.I XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat. + +DetectableAutorepeat is a condition that applies to all keyboard devices for a +client's connection to a given X server; it cannot be selectively set for some +devices and not for others. For this reason, none of the Xkb library functions +involving DetectableAutorepeat involve a device specifier. + +This request affects all keyboard activity for the requesting client only; other +clients still see the expected nondetectable auto-repeat behavior, unless they +have requested otherwise. + +.I XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat +sends a request to the server to set DetectableAutorepeat on for the current +client if +.I detectable +is True, and off if +.I detectable +is False; it then waits for a reply. If +.I supported_rtrn +is not NULL, +.I XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat +backfills +.I supported_rtrn +with True if the server supports DetectableAutorepeat, and False if it does not. +.I XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat +returns the current state of DetectableAutorepeat for the requesting client: +True if DetectableAutorepeat is set, and False otherwise. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.TP 15 +True +The +.I XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat +function returns True if DetectableAutorepeat is set. +.TP 15 +False +The +.I XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat +function returns False if DetectableAutorepeat is not set. |
